Suggestion For Trade Thread (RULES)

[reksat]

I have a suggestion, for new users like myself can we have access to the trade thread rules thread so i can read the rules.



I know i need 30 posts to actually trade but i would like to know the rules prior so i can be prepared as to what i am getting myself into with the trade thread?

Not sure if it's a stupid idea or a good one but just an idea at the least


Thanks

Sean

(ps: my first suggestion w00h)

dont trade

[reksat]

Really why's that? I'm looking for invites to sites or are you saying that i shouldn't give people invites to my sites via trade i should just advertise freely so theirs no bargaining?

Thanks

[TranceX]

if u want an invite just go on invite giveaway and follow the rules and ask for an invite.
if u want to give an invite go on invite giveaway and give what u want to give.
there is no need to trade something.
trade is not good nowadays and u can be scammed or banned from trackers.

Trading Forum Rules

If you want to trade, you MUST follow these rules. ANY moderator reserves the right to prohibit ANY user from trading for failure to follow these rules.

Before we get started - a quick note - Trading here is a PRIVILEGE, not a God Given Right, and management reserves the right to revoke that privilege for any user for any reason.

1. REFERENCES (aka points, refs, feedbacks, iTrader) – Whoever has fewer references sends first.

What’s a reference? It’s a number that determines how many different people you have traded with successfully. It shows how trustworthy you are. Face it, trading on the internet is risky, there's a chance you won't get what you have been promised but with the reference system in place, you can be relatively assured that if you're trading with someone with a high rating you'll get your stuff. Now, does that mean you shouldn't trade with someone with a low rating? No, but it does mean you should exercise extreme caution when doing so. And if someone with very few posts and a decent trader rating PMs you to make a deal, be wary, because they most likely want to rip you off.

Your trader rating is the little click able number to the right of your post. Each user starts with ZERO, and it can go up (or down) depending on the trades you make. The Trader Rating is a system designed to work just like Ebay’s reference system. If you make a trade, when you receive your cards, you leave a positive feedback for your trading partner. If something went wrong in your trade, you may leave a neutral or negative feedback, but if you do, you must be prepared to accept a neutral or negative feedback in return.
2. REF SCAMMING

What is ref-scamming?

• Multiple accounts in order to give references to one account to increase your trader rating.
• Have your friends give you references for trades you made without torrent-invites.com being involved, or that don't exist at all. In either case, if you are caught ref-scamming, you can guarantee that you will get in trouble.

Ignorance of the rules is no excuse. If we hear "I didn't know it was wrong" you'll get the ref scam punishment just like everyone else.

In order to get and receive a VALID trader reference on torrent-invites.com, ALL negotiations should be done here, either in the thread itself, or via the Private Message system.

3. DO NOT post your address or other personal information in this forum. Conduct your final negotiations PM, so that you have a record, AND KEEP THOSE EMAILS OR PMS UNTIL THE DEAL IS FINISHED. Try to get the person's email address if you can along with any other means of communication so that you can contact him if the trade turns sour.

4. Torrent-Invites.com takes no responsibility for the trades that you decide to make.

5. You cannot sell here. If you try to sell here in any way you can and will be banned for a week or more.

6. Rapidshare accounts are no longer a valid trade

7. What constitutes a trade? - Negative or neutral feedback cannot occur until the following happens.

• Exchange of Address - when both users give their respective email addresses within 24 hours of each other.
• Confirmation on the deal by both sides

As with most rules, there are exceptions:

• If you post that you'll make a trade, and the other person accepts, and the other person IMMEDIATELY backs out, as if joking or taunting, that's illegal, and will probably get you temp banned.
• If you exchanged addresses, and agreed on a deal, but one trader tries to back out because they would have to send first, that's a breach of the rules, and you may leave a neutral or negative feedback accordingly.

Remember, we are not responsible for the trades you make. Common Sense should dictate your actions. CHECK YOUR TRADING PARTNER'S Reference RATINGS YOURSELF! GET AN EMAIL ADDRESS when you trade so that you can contact that person outside of the board if need be. We do our best to make sure that our members don't get ripped off, but sometimes it's not enough, so make sure you protect yourself.

8. A mod's word is final. If a moderator tells you to do something like to submit proof you have a tracker, DON'T argue with him. Just don't.

9. If you have any trading issues/unwarranted negatives/any problems at all make a new thread in the "Chopping Block" forum and a mod will get to you as soon as possible.

Remember:

Do not EVER EVER post your email address or your home address on a public message board.

Don't trade something you can't afford to lose until you have built up a trust with your trading partner

PLEASE use a middleman if you are unsure of your partner's credibility.

Finally, have fun and Happy Trading!
